My Wife's uncle flew the Hump in a C-47 & C-46 He lives in Lakewood NJ. We hang out at Lakewood Airport when ever we go and just talk about his experiences. His wife never wants to listen to his stories. She keeps telling him he is is boring me. I tell her to mind her own business. He can remember every detail. He tells me about flying Madam Chang's grand piano over the hump, flying Chinese troop along with 55 gallon drums of fuel. The Chinese would light fires in the back of the plane next to the fuel drums or sometimes throw out a soldier or two when flying low over the jungle because they thought it was funny. And you want to talk scary, He flew through a few thunder storms over the Himalayas yikes!! They used to call the route the aluminum trail because you could find your way just following the downed planes. Last year he gave me his flight jacket a very special gift.
